Should we clean white sneakers?

I used to own an Onitsuka Mexico 66, but i never clean it and wore it everyday. It was super seasoned until it gave way and threw away.

Should we clean our white sneakers or leave it seasoned and battered?I've done a search on 'clean sneakers', I realised that many here wish to wear clean sneakers.Just wondering, is there any reason to keep our white sneakers clean?

Suede cleaner, they sell it at Foot Locker and such. It doesn't work quite as well as leather cleaner but it'll do something for you, the suede loses some color though, my red suede Jordan 21's have lost some of their redness on paper towels when I clean em'.
